Tokyo

Hair up. Colourful hair. Colourful socks. Yes, if you stop to analyze Tokyo from the foot to the head, you’ll have a chance to improve how many different colours your eyes are capable of seeing.
It’s a technological city, lit by thousands of advertisements: outdoors, giant televisions reflected in glass buildings and banners with the Japanese symbols that jump off from each commerce. During the day, office people run through the streets, in a place that seems have more inhabitants than free spaces on the floor. At night, I got confused – I didn’t know if I should look for all the lights or for the fashion wear of every Japanese person. Beautiful clothes, I almost went crazy at the 109 Shopping Centre, in the Shibuya district. Tokyo might be the most expensive city in the world, but probably is also the richest in variety. You can find any type of night club: from a Latin Salsa until a bar that guests can come in only showing their fingerprints, and inside this luxury paradise they can sing in a modern karaoke or play virtual golf with friends. Amazing. And, ironically, it is in this super developed city where the nature is shown at its most special. Sakura, the Japanese tree, is in a moment that happens only a week per year: they are blossoming with beautiful white flowers. It makes this city even more beautiful and traditional.
For sure, all this impressed me. And I’m not a fan of big cities, but Japan’s capital won my attention. I’m glad that we have two more weeks here – even though this time is barely enough if we want to know everything that this megalopolis has to offer!
